Instructions
To change the time zone on your virtual server, do the following:
  1. Determine the file that corresponds to your time zone and use it instead of Etc/GMT. You can use one of the 400 time zone files from these listings or select one of the more commonly used ones below.

    Description
    File
    Current Date & Time
     Greenwich Mean Time  Etc/GMT  Wed-19-Nov-2008  11:35:46  GMT 
     Eastern Time  SystemV/EST5EDT  Wed-19-Nov-2008  06:35:46  SystemV/EST

  2. Update your Virtual Server's localtime by typing the following at a command prompt:

      chmod 600 ~/etc/localtime
      cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT ~/etc/localtime

  3. Update your shell's localtime by editing your .cshrc file. This can be done by using iManager or at a command prompt:

      pico ~/.cshrc

    Then modify your shell's time zone:

      setenv TZ Etc/GMT
